A stuffed lion doll handmade by Rosa and given to Maria for her birthday. He became Maria’s furniture when she gave him a soul through magic. His name was originally intended to be "Sakura" (?, based on a veiled reference to the manga and anime Cardcaptor Sakura), but since "Sakura" is traditionally a female name, Maria derived from it and added the male suffix taro (?). In reality, Sakutaro is a normal stuffed animal who Maria simply imagines to be alive, viewing him as one of her most beloved friends. His vessel takes the shape of a simple lion cub, while his human form has the appearance of a young boy with blond hair, red eyes, an orange cap with pointed ears, and an oversized yellow jacket; he wears a red muffler given to him by Maria in both of his forms. He is innocent and shy, and often utters the phrase uryu (?) He is also incredibly popular among the Sisters of Purgatory, who never waste an opportunity to pounce and cuddle him all at once, much to his dismay. As furniture under a witch of Mariage Sorciere, he serves as a non-aggressive diplomat with the ability to produce barriers and negate magical attacks to protect Maria, though his defensive powers pale in comparison to more experienced furniture. In Alliance of the Golden Witch, Sakutaro is torn apart by Rosa in a fight with Maria and believed to be impossible for Beatrice to resurrect due to Rosa's refusal to accept him afterward. However, he still appears before Ange, who comes across and repairs the remains of his vessel and revives him. In Dawn of the Golden Witch, Sakutaro assists Maria against Erika the two argue over a trivial magic trick, and manages to arrange a truce. He later defends Maria against Kanon when he attempts to kill her, only to be disintegrated by Shannon's own shield, though he is restored in the end.
